Ok. In the next few months I need to take on a member of staff.

Can you please inform me from your experience how to best go about it.
I'd like someone ideally with experience of Wfp. I'll supply vehicle and equipment.

Do I put them on the books or self employed basis.

Please let me know as must as possible

Thanks

My experience is to employ someone who has no experience of window cleaning.

I agree. Staff with experience I have found are on the market for a reason.  Why would u let go of decent staff?

So inexperienced staff is the way to go but do you have them as self employed or other.

Depends on a number of factors.  See HMRC guidelines

On the cards.

So long as they're teachable you're heading in the right direction.

i'd always take on people with no experience of cleaning than those who do, mainly because to can train them to your standard
and way of working 

i nearly took on a guy who was a "supervisor" at another company  i didn't in the end because i found out he had his "own" private weekend rounds  - to be there was just too much of a conflict of interests
